Chapter 33 No Provisions

He looked down at her, the sinister look in his eyes still lingering.

"I'm really afraid that you'll run away. Who can I turn to for revenge for the injuries I've suffered?"

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Gu Miaomiao's lips, which seemed to be mocking and sarcastic.

"Then from tomorrow on, you and I will do everything together?"

Her voice was light and airy. Seeing that Jiang Yanbai's tense jawline seemed to have loosened a little, Gu Miaomiao's eyes flashed slightly.

She supported her aching body and slowly sat up from the bed.

Barefoot, stepping on the cold floor, he poured a glass of milk for Jiang Yanbai.

His fingertips flicked the edge of the cup, and a small white pill fell into the warm milk, quickly melting and disappearing.

Throughout the whole process, her expression did not change at all.

She walked back to the bed with the milk and handed it to him gently.

"It's getting late. Stop making trouble, okay? Have a glass of milk and go to bed early."

Her voice sounded somewhat gentle.

Jiang Yanbai stared at her suspiciously, then looked at the glass of milk with sharp eyes.

He didn't reach for it immediately.

"You didn't put drugs in the milk, did you?"

Every word he spoke was laced with distrust.

The gentleness on Gu Miaomiao's face disappeared in an instant, and she suddenly snatched the milk cup away from him, and the milk almost spilled out.

"A dog bites Lu Dongbin!"

"You don't know how to appreciate kindness!"

She pretended to spill the milk.

Seeing her intense reaction, Jiang Yanbai didn't seem to be faking it. Instead, he reached out and grabbed her wrist.

He snatched the cup of milk from her hand, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.

His Adam's apple rolled and a few drops of milk wet the corners of his lips.

After a while, Jiang Yanbai felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, but he just thought it was because it was too late.

Lying in bed, in less than a minute, my breathing became steady.

Gu Miaomiao looked at his sleeping profile quietly.

His once handsome face had shed its usual brutality.

She reached out and gently patted his cheek with her fingertips, a bit teasingly.

"Wasn't he quite noisy just now? Why are you so quiet now?"

"Tsk. If you're sick, you have to take your medicine. Otherwise, who can stand going crazy like this every day?"

She lay back down on the bed calmly, an arm's length away from him.

She actually knew something about Jiang Yanbai's illness.

When he was in the orphanage, he was already somewhat paranoid, unlike ordinary people.

Later, he was adopted into the Jiang family and went through so many unbearable things. It would be strange if he didn't have psychological problems.

She once hinted that he should see a psychiatrist.

But he didn't believe it at all and just regarded it as another humiliation.

Every time she secretly put medicine in his food, he would throw it all away as soon as he found out.

In order to prevent the perverted Mr. Gu from knowing that she had secretly given him the medicine, she could only threaten him with a whip to make him take it, but he secretly spit it out.

What a troublesome man.

Gu Miaomiao sighed in her heart, with a complicated look in her eyes.

But this was not something that could be solved immediately, so I simply closed my eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day.

Gu Miaomiao had already woken up, dressed neatly, and was about to go out when the person next to her moved.

Jiang Yanbai woke up, and what came into his sight was Gu Miaomiao's cold figure.

"What are you going to do?"

His voice was hoarse from waking up from sleep.

Gu Miaomiao turned her face to the side, with a cold look in her eyes. She walked to the wardrobe, grabbed a suit at random, and threw it next to Jiang Yanbai without any hesitation.

"Go to work. If Mr. Jiang doesn't get up soon, he'll be late."

Jiang Yanbai propped himself up on the bed and sat up. Picking up the suit, he suddenly thought of how he had slept so soundly last night.

No nightmares, no waking up in shock.

Even the mania and depression that had been lingering deep in my body for years had dissipated a lot.

Why? He looked at Gu Miaomiao's back as she walked to the door, his eyes dark.

Gu Miaomiao had no intention of waiting for him. She opened the door and walked out.

Jiang Yanbai changed his clothes, frowned slightly, and followed him downstairs.

In the restaurant, Lin Qing was drinking a glass of milk.

Seeing Gu Miaomiao and Jiang Yanbai coming down from upstairs one after another, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Brother Yanbai, why did you come down here with...with the eldest lady?"

The end of her voice rose slightly, and her heart was beating like a drum.

"Could it be that you..."

"I was afraid she'd have to go to work on time again, so I went to call her."

Jiang Yanbai's voice was cold and hard, cutting off Lin Qing's unfinished words.

He pulled out the dining chair opposite Gu Miaomiao and sat down.

The curiosity on Lin Qing's face froze for a moment. This explanation seemed nothing special, but she always felt something was wrong.

She quickly suppressed her strange expression, picked up a piece of freshly baked toast, spread strawberry jam on it, and handed it to Jiang Yanbai affectionately.

"Brother Yanbai, try this! It's the jam that Aunt Wang just bought. It's so sweet."

Her voice was deliberately soft.

Gu Miaomiao just glanced at him lightly, picked up the bread at hand and stood up.

"I'm done eating."

She walked towards the entrance without looking at anyone.

In front of the Jiang Group building.

As soon as the car stopped, Gu Miaomiao suddenly reached out and grabbed the cuff of Jiang Yanbai's suit when he was about to get out.

Jiang Yanbai paused and looked down at her.

She raised her face, a sarcastic arc appearing on her lips.

"Didn't President Jiang say yesterday that he would keep a close eye on me? I'm going to the Film and Television Department on the 12th floor now."

"If you don't go over there."

She paused, a defiant glint in her eyes.

"Then if I say something nonsense in there, President Jiang won't be able to do anything about it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qing immediately stretched his neck and moved closer, blinking curiously.

"Twelfth floor? What are you going to do on the twelfth floor? I want to go and see it too."

Before Gu Miaomiao could speak, Jiang Yanbai's cold voice came.

"Go back and work hard."

The smile on Lin Qing's face froze. He bit his lower lip unwillingly, and his voice was filled with a hint of grievance.

"Brother Yanbai, please let me go with you."

"Whatever the young lady can do, I can do too. I will definitely not be worse than her."

Gu Miaomiao reached out, grabbed Jiang Yanbai's arm with a quick movement, and passed directly past Lin Qing.

A cold laugh escaped from her throat.

"If you're no worse than me, you wouldn't be unaware of what this is for."

Lin Qing trembled all over due to the humiliation, her eyes turned red and tears almost burst out.

She stamped her feet in anger, her voice shrill.

"Humph! What's so great about that!"

"It's just an entertainment industry, as if you can do it well!"

Gu Miaomiao seemed not to hear her shouting.

She didn't even look back at her, and walked straight towards the elevator with Jiang Yanbai.

12th floor, Film and Television Department.

As soon as the elevator door opened, the scene in front of him made Jiang Yanbai frown.

There were only a few people scattered around in the huge office area.

Wu Yiran was standing not far away. When he saw them, he immediately came forward respectfully.

"Mr. Jiang, Ms. Gu."

Jiang Yanbai's face darkened and his voice was cold.

"It's this late, where are the people?"

Wu Yiran showed an embarrassment on his face and lowered his eyes slightly.

"Boss Jiang, here... no one has set work hours."

Gu Miaomiao turned her head and looked at the man with a sullen face beside her, a hint of sarcasm on her lips.

"See? With that kind of work attitude, what kind of results can you achieve?"
